Open to all caregivers, regardless of age, affliction, illness, or location, the Fountain Hills Caregiver Support Group provides a responsive environment where caregivers can discover that they are neither unique in their situation nor alone in their feelings and experiences.
It allows caregivers to exchange ideas and information, find solutions to similar problems, and suggest discussion topics for future meetings. It is also an opportunity for caregivers to develop informal networks and peer groups for extended support.
